Austin Dacey on Tuesday, 4/14

There is no assignment over the break. But we will be meeting back in the Regina Peruggi room (Main, 2nd floor) when we return to see the following Philosophy Forum talk:

------------------
"THE SECULAR CONSCIENCE: Why Belief Belongs in Public Life"
Tuesday, April 14, 6-8 p.m. in the Regina Peruggi Room
(Co-sponsored by Philosophy & Religious Studies, English, and Political Science)

Dr. Austin Dacey will be speaking about his book The Secular Conscience and his recent work at the United Nations Human Rights Council on freedom of expression. He serves as a respresentative to the United Nations for the Center for Inquiry, a think tank concerned with the secular, scientific outlook. He is also on the editorial staff of Skeptical Inquirer and Free Inquiry magazines. He holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy and his writings have appeared in numerous publications including the New York Times, USA Today, and Science.
------------------

Remember that like the last time, you are not obligated to stay past 7:10pm, although I welcome you to do so. There will be a reading assigned for the following Thursday; keep your eyes on this space for that posting. Enjoy your break.
